Junior Guinea Pig
My current herd of 4 sows is losing their leader.
I’m likely very likely to leave the remaining 3 together with no new additions. I read the stickies. But unless I missed a section it mostly deals with pairs losing 1.
In this case they’ll be 3 left. I’m looking for tips and what to expect. Will the 3 grieve? Could they squabble among resetting the pecking order? What if any precautions?
She’s had a lot of issues mouth related mostly we’ve taken her in, we’ve given her syringe meds, routine sedations, teeth appointments but everything it’s a huge stress for her she’s so skittish and shy. But now she cannot eat or stand much due to digestive issues.
Anyway I’m shaky as I type this but has anyone dealt with a loss among a herd rather than a pair?
